2000 Uniform Commercial Code Committee Report on Revised Article 9 (Secured Transactions)

On the recommendation of the UCC Committee of the Business Law Section, WSBA sponsored the adoption of Revised Article 9, which the legislature enacted, with some local variations, as chapter 250, Laws of 2000, codified as Article 9A of RCW 62A. The Report of the UCC Committee dated September 1999 is attached.

The UCC Committee of the Business Law Section has now recommended technical amendments and corrections to UCC Article 9A and related statutes. These have been approved by the WSBA Board of Governors. Most of the changes reflect minor amendments and corrections to the official text of Revised Article 9. Attached are (1) the proposed bill, (2) a one-page explanation, and (3) a section-by-section analysis.

Also attached is an updated version, dated September 2000, of Washington Comments to Article 9A. These comments have been prepared by the UCC Committee. Additional comments may be needed in 2001 to reflect legislation enacted in that year.
